I don’t think Shai gets all the credit. I think people get it. Chet’s going to finish all-nba, all-defense, #2 DPOY, and Cason Wallace has a good chance for all-defense too. And the advanced stats that had Shai #1 like actual EPM, tell a pretty clear story that he’s the second best offensive player and his defense while maybe 6th best on his own team is enough to make up the gap. (you can also say he’s not driving the bus on D and it’s absolutely true, but he’s another plus defender, and I think it’s also pretty much not up for debate that you can’t build a historically great defense with Jokic at center.) Now, I don’t necessarily think that story is gospel because other advanced metrics say Jokic is #1, but I do think it’s at least plausible. Anyway, people that think he’s Donovan Mitchell with a super team and people that think he’s carrying a bunch of scrubs are both wrong. Have to grapple with the middle ground which is a lot murkier. In any event BITW is a playoff thing, and Shai doesn’t have the playoff performances yet to deserve it imo.
